So whats the reason you went with this since its a 27 not to much different from the saber? is it that its a faster hull???
That's cool I'm sure you'll come up with something. That single 26 Sutphen that just went up would be a nice buy.

I really wanted to go back to a sit down boat. After running the Saber last season I relized (for me) that's where it's at. Can't beat the feeling of a boat that's made to sit in and run. Plus your right being faster is nice too. But the Kryptonite is actually bigger in the cuddy (wider) and also has alot more room in the engine compartment.

So the hull is not a 7ft beam with a 24 deg bottom?

Also the sutphen is a 31ft race boat. Dude, has been showing me a ton of race boats and keeps saying that a cabin is not that great.

23 degree deadrise declining to 21degrees towards the stern i believe (could be wrong), 8.2 beam as philm said. Boat is made to run on top of the waves. Sutphens are mead to cut through the waves.

It certainly does run on top of the waves, especially at 100+
